The Indestructible Record Company was an American business that produced plastic cylinder records between 1907 and 1922. The company was established by William Messer, who had previously worked with Thomas Lambert, the inventor of plastic celluloid cylinder records. The records were initially made, from 1900, by the Lambert Company, but that company went bankrupt in early 1906 after Thomas Edison brought a suit against Lambert for patent infringement. Messer had been responsible for developing a means of mass-producing the Lambert cylinders using a steam press, and in 1906 set up his own company, the Indestructible Phonographic Record Co., based in Albany, New York, to record and produce them.
